How can I get query string values in JavaScript

Question

Is there a plugin-less way of retrieving query string values via jQuery  or without     If so  how  If not  is there a plugin which can do so

If you re doing more URL manipulation than simply parsing the querystring  you may find URI js helpful  It is a library for manipulating URLs - and comes with all the bells and whistles   Sorry for self-advertising here   to convert your querystring into a map   var data   URI   foo bar amp bar baz amp foo world   query true   data         foo     bar    world       bar    baz       URI js also  fixes  bad querystrings like   amp foo amp  amp bar baz amp  to  foo amp bar baz

If you re using jQuery  you can use a library  such as jQuery BBQ  Back Button  amp  Query Library         jQuery BBQ provides a full  deparam   method  along with both hash state management  and fragment   query string parse and merge utility methods    Edit  Adding Deparam Example    x000D   x000D   var DeparamExample   function     x000D              var params     deparam querystring    x000D   x000D                nameofparam is the name of a param from url x000D                code below will get param if ajax refresh with hash x000D              if  typeof params nameofparam     undefined     x000D                  params   jQuery deparam fragment window location href   x000D                x000D               x000D              if  typeof params nameofparam     undefined     x000D                  var paramValue   params nameofparam toString    x000D                     x000D                x000D             x000D   x000D   x000D    If you want to just use plain JavaScript  you could use     var getParamValue    function         var params      var resetParams   function                 var query   window location search              var regex       amp             amp      g              var match               params                    if  query                    while  match   regex exec query                         params match 1     decodeURIComponent match 2                                                        window addEventListener      amp  amp  window addEventListener  popstate   resetParams        resetParams         return function param            return params hasOwnProperty param    params param    null                  Because of the new HTML History API and specifically history pushState   and history replaceState    the URL can change which will invalidate the cache of parameters and their values   This version will update its internal cache of parameters each time the history changes

URLSearchParams Firefox 44   Opera 36   Edge 17   Safari 10 3  and Chrome 49  support the URLSearchParams API   Chrome Announcement and details Opera Announcement and details Firefox Announcement and details  There is a google-suggested URLSearchParams polyfill for the stable versions of IE  It is not standardized by W3C  but it is a living standard by WhatWG  You can use it on location  const params   new URLSearchParams location search    or const params    new URL location   searchParams   Or of course on any URL  const url   new URL  https   example com foo 1 amp bar 2    const params   new URLSearchParams url search    You can get params also using a shorthand  searchParams property on the URL object  like this  const params   new URL  https   example com foo 1 amp bar 2   searchParams  params get  foo        quot 1 quot  params get  bar        quot 2 quot    You read set parameters through the get KEY   set KEY  VALUE   append KEY  VALUE  API  You can also iterate over all values for  let p of params      A reference implementation and a sample page are available for auditing and testing

Just another recommendation  The plugin Purl allows to retrieve all parts of URL  including anchor  host  etc   It can be used with or without jQuery   Usage is very simple and cool   var url     url  http   allmarkedup com folder dir index html item value       jQuery version var url   purl  http   allmarkedup com folder dir index html item value       plain JS version url attr  protocol       returns  http  url attr  path       returns   folder dir index html    However  as of Nov 11  2014  Purl is no longer maintained and the author recommends using URI js instead   The jQuery plugin is different in that it focuses on elements - for usage with strings  just use URI directly  with or without jQuery   Similar code would look as such  fuller docs here   var url   new URI  http   allmarkedup com folder dir index html item value       plain JS version url protocol       returns  http  url path       returns   folder dir index html

Here s my edit to this excellent answer - with added ability to parse query strings with keys without values   var url    http   sb com reg step1 param   var qs    function a        if  a        return         var b           for  var i   0  i  lt  a length    i            var p a i  split      2           if  p 1   p 1    decodeURIComponent p 1  replace     g                 b p 0     p 1             return b      url split       1  split   amp        IMPORTANT  The parameter for that function in the last line is different  It s just an example of how one can pass an arbitrary URL to it  You can use last line from Bruno s answer to parse the current URL   So what exactly changed  With url http   sb com reg step1 param  results will be same  But with url http   sb com reg step1 param Bruno s solution returns an object without keys  while mine returns an object with key param and undefined value

I use regular expressions a lot  but not for that   It seems easier and more efficient to me to read the query string once in my application  and build an object from all the key value pairs like   var search   function       var s   window location search substr 1       p   s split    amp     l   p length  kv  r         if  l     0   return false     while  l--        kv   p l  split            r kv 0     decodeURIComponent kv 1            true        return r         For a URL like http   domain com param1 val1 amp param2 val2 you can get their value later in your code as search param1 and search param2

Doing this reliably is more involved than one may think at first   location search  which is used in other answers  is brittle and should be avoided - for example  it returns empty if someone screws up and puts a  fragment identifier before the  query string  There are a number of ways URLs get automatically escaped in the browser  which makes decodeURIComponent pretty much mandatory  in my opinion  Many query strings are generated from user input  which means assumptions about the URL content are very bad  Including very basic things like that each key is unique or even has a value   To solve this  here is a configurable API with a healthy dose of defensive programming  Note that it can be made half the size if you are willing to hardcode some of the variables  or if the input can never include hasOwnProperty  etc  Version 1  Returns a data object with names and values for each parameter  It effectively de-duplicates them and always respects the first one found from

Some of the solutions posted here are inefficient  Repeating the regular expression search every time the script needs to access a parameter is completely unnecessary  one single function to split up the parameters into an associative-array style object is enough  If you re not working with the HTML 5 History API  this is only necessary once per page load   The other suggestions here also fail to decode the URL correctly   var urlParams   window onpopstate   function          var match          pl           g      Regex for replacing addition symbol with a space         search                      g          decode   function  s    return decodeURIComponent s replace pl                    query    window location search substring 1        urlParams           while  match   search exec query          urlParams decode match 1      decode match 2           Example querystring        i main amp mode front amp sid de8d49b78a85a322c4155015fdce22c4 amp enc  Hello 20 amp empty   Result    urlParams         enc    Hello        i   main       mode   front       sid   de8d49b78a85a322c4155015fdce22c4       empty        alert urlParams  mode        - gt   front   alert  empty  in urlParams      - gt  true   This could easily be improved upon to handle array-style query strings too   An example of this is here  but since array-style parameters aren t defined in RFC 3986 I won t pollute this answer with the source code  For those interested in a  polluted  version  look at campbeln s answer below   Also  as pointed out in the comments    is a legal delimiter for key value pairs   It would require a more complicated regex to handle   or  amp   which I think is unnecessary because it s rare that   is used and I would say even more unlikely that both would be used   If you need to support   instead of  amp   just swap them in the regex     If you re using a server-side preprocessing language  you might want to use its native JSON functions to do the heavy lifting for you   For example  in PHP you can write    lt script var urlParams    lt  php echo json encode   GET  JSON HEX TAG      lt  script   Much simpler   UPDATED     A new capability would be to retrieve repeated params as following myparam 1 amp myparam 2  There is not a specification  however  most of the current approaches follow the generation of an array    myparam     1    2     So  this is the approach to manage it   let urlParams        window onpopstate   function          let match          pl       g      Regex for replacing addition symbol with a space         search        amp           amp     g          decode   function  s                return decodeURIComponent s replace pl                            query   window location search substring 1        while  match   search exec query             if  decode match 1   in urlParams                if   Array isArray urlParams decode match 1                        urlParams decode match 1       urlParams decode match 1                                urlParams decode match 1    push decode match 2               else               urlParams decode match 1      decode match 2

Update  Sep-2018 You can use URLSearchParams which is simple and has decent  but not complete  browser support  const urlParams   new URLSearchParams window location search   const myParam   urlParams get  myParam     Original You don t need jQuery for that purpose  You can use just some pure JavaScript  function getParameterByName name  url   window location href        name   name replace         g       amp         var regex   new RegExp     amp      name          amp       amp                  results   regex exec url       if   results  return null      if   results 2   return         return decodeURIComponent results 2  replace     g            Usage     query string   foo lorem amp bar  amp baz var foo   getParameterByName  foo        quot lorem quot  var bar   getParameterByName  bar        quot  quot   present with empty value  var baz   getParameterByName  baz        quot  quot   present with no value  var qux   getParameterByName  qux       null  absent   NOTE  If a parameter is present several times   foo lorem amp foo ipsum   you will get the first value  lorem   There is no standard about this and usages vary  see for example this question  Authoritative position of duplicate HTTP GET query keys  NOTE  The function is case-sensitive  If you prefer case-insensitive parameter name  add  i  modifier to RegExp  This is an update based on the new URLSearchParams specs to achieve the same result more succinctly  See answer titled  quot URLSearchParams quot  below
